7 Homebrewing Kits To Clone Awesome Beers at Home. I can still remember the taste of the very first beer I brewed myself.

I’d gone to my local home-brew shop and purchased the top-of-the-line of all the equipment they had available, and set about making my very first beer as soon as I got home with it: a chocolate stout. What I ended up making was five gallons of liquid that looked more like dirty water than stout, and tasted like malt and pretty much nothing else. That magical look and taste was enhanced further by the fact that the majority of the bottles didn’t carbonate very well, so you were drinking some very, very lightly carbonated dirty water.
The simple workout that will stop you snoring and improve your sleep. How to make money with a news website. For centuries, newspapers and magazines have dominated the world of publishing and journalism.

Your Money: Avoid withdrawing provident fund money to buy a house. You would soon be able to use a major chunk of your retirement money to buy a house.

Financial advisors say that an individual should dip into the retirement corpus only if it's a first house, and the property is not bought for investment. Breaking retirement corpus should be the last resort for any one. Instead of using PF money, financial advisors say that a person can pledge gold to buy a property.

Built for brewers: Eugene welder finds niche in beer-making systems. Aaron Keeney about a decade ago fused his welding skills with a brewing hobby, creating a Eugene company known in the craft beer world.

Keeney’s Synergy Brewing Systems makes stainless steel beer-making equipment for home-based and commercial brewers. The equipment, which includes three kettles and propane burners mounted on a stand with wheels, can make from five gallons to 30 gallons or more of beer.
